I'm confused by this

I’m confused by these two seemingly contradictory Velasco statements from NCFC & Glenn Roeder

On the PinkUn site there’s a couple of paragraphs in the Huckerby story which states

Jon Otsemobor will continue at right-back after Roeder ruled out Spaniard Juan Velasco for up to a month with a thigh injury he picked up at last weekend's 1-0 defeat to the Sky Blues. “He's picked up an injury and it's a nuisance because he could be three or four weeks,” said Roeder. “That is a concern because he is only on a very short term contract until the end of the season, but that's life as they say.

But there was no mention of this injury when Roeder explained why he was subbed after 20 minutes at Coventry when stating: -

"He got caught on the rebound really of a second game quickly after not playing first team football for eight months or so," explained Roeder "I just thought Saturday in that opening period he looked so tired so quickly and of course the goal came from that side and they could have scored again from that side as well just after we conceded”

The second statement seems not have made on Saturday after the game in which Roeder may not known of the injury.

So what is going on here? What's the betting that his injury turns out to be "Worse than expected", and he is quietly shipped out of the club?
